Introduction

GetPixit Pixtel helps to capture, share and manage files. Images captured can be edited using drawing and image manipulation tools before sharing. GetPixit Pixtel helps in easy sharing of images to multiple cloud platforms and applications such as Google Drive, One Drive, Word, PowerPoint, Jira, Facebook, etc. One important feature in all these integrations is that user users can configure multiple accounts with any of the providers. For example, user users can have 3 Google drive accounts, one for personal use, one or more for business use, and another one for school. While working on captures for business, a business account can be used to upload and share annotated files. This is one of the major strengths of GetPixit Pixtel unlike many other tools in the market. This document covers the different share options available in the application. Share interface can be opened either from Menu Window→Share or Click on Share Toggle button icon, , in the middle of the left side menu. The Share Option Interface will open on the left as shown below. It can be closed by clicking on the icon again.

There is a format checkbox in the bottom of the share fly-out. Checking this box helps to share files in native PI (Pixit) file format which retains all the annotations along with the image intact. These files can be imported in another GetPixit Pixtel and annotations can be manipulated as required. This is very useful for collaborative work.

GetPixit Pixtel has been integrated with widely used cloud platforms like Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, and cloud applications, OneNote and EverNote. A user account is authenticated to add account information in GetPixitPixtel. After authentication, all the folders on the cloud drive are displayed in an explorer view. Multiple accounts can be added and user accounts will be cached in GetPixit Pixtel to avoid future login. User can remove their account anytime; this deletes the local user profile. All the files chosen for upload will be available and selection or deselection among files is also possible.

Application integration helps to interact with applications from GetPixit Pixtel directly without requiring to switch between applications to share images. A set of three integrations are included in GetPixitPixtel. These are Email, FTP and Jira. Email integration helps to send an email with image attachments. FTP integration allows uploading documents to a selected FTP site. Jira integration is an important integration provided in the application. Jira integration allows users to create and update issues directly from the application without requiring to go back and forth with Jira application in the browser. This greatly improves the productivity of Product Management, and Development and QA engineers when dealing with a large number of product/project screenshots.

Jira is used for issue tracking and project management. Images and captures in GetPixit Pixtel can be used to create a Jira issue or update an existing issue. Jira accounts are authenticated and saved in the application for future login. With multiple accounts, user can make one account as primary. Project names are filtered before creating or updating an issue. A link to the issue appears at the bottom which can be opened in the web browser. Jira integration significantly improves productivity especially for the users who use it for managing issues with image attachments. In order for Jira integration to work, Jira should be accessible and the Rest API should not be disabled. Integration supports two types of authentication: Basic authentication with user id/password and OAuth1a. Other custom forms of authentications are not supported.
